PUP STAR debuts on FandangoNOW -- August 30, 2016

Welcome to a world where dogs can not only talk -- they can SING! Air Bud Entertainment, the creators of the 'Air Bud' and 'Disney Air Buddies' movies, have created a new film with a dog-filled spin on America's hit TV singing competitions, being released August 30, 2016 in Digital HD through Fandango's on-demand video service FandangoNOW. Loaded with music, including 13 original songs, and the biggest cast of talking (and singing) canines ever assembled, this all-new family friendly film is the inspirational adventure of an adorable Yorkie pup, Tiny (voiced by Kaitlyn Maher, America's Got Talent) who finds herself on an action-packed cross-country journey to compete in the ultimate singing competition for dogs -- Pup Star.

After Tiny earns a place in the finale, she's suddenly dog-napped! But with the help of her new friend, Charlie, a retired rock-and-roller, she escapes. Together they journey through some of music's most iconic cities trying to get back to the Pup Star competition. Along the way they encounter Big Ears, a soulful Bassett Hound who teaches Tiny to belt out the blues; Murray, a spiritual shaggy dog who helps her find her inner rhythm; and Emily Rose, a country-singing shepherd who helps Tiny learn to sing from her heart. Most importantly, all of her new friends encourage Tiny to believe in herself and never give up on her dreams. Will Tiny make it back to the Pup Star set in time to participate in the Pup Star finals?! You'll have to watch the movie to find out!

PUP STAR, which stars Makenzie Moss (Steve Jobs), Jed Rees (Deadpool), Carla Jimenez (The Purge: Anarchy) and David Deluise (The Wizards of Waverly Place), can be viewed on FandangoNOW for $9.99 by visiting fandangonow.com/pupstar. FandangoNOW is available on Roku, smart televisions from Samsung, LG and Vizio and on iOS and Android mobile devices. For more information about the movie, visit airbud.com
